Wanted to check with you all and see if any of you have recommendations for a good sight to have my blog made into books? The last time I did this, I used Blogger, but they NO longer make the books. I tried Pixie last year, but was not pleased.
I enjoy having a yearly book made because it captures life memories that I blog about, plus my kids love having everything in a book for them to read.
***********************************
Can you feel it? A big deep breath after all of the celebrating? All of our leftover's are gone!! No more black eyed peas, cabbage or pork. And now, life taps us on the shoulder and says, "Alright, friend...lets do this." Lets get back to real life.
Jan 2nd is like a RE-ENTRY....easing back into everyday life with intention, but mostly done in a slow way.
Ordinary days are upon us. I'm already hearing the laundry humming in the background, and my morning routine is back in rhythm.
It's kinds like SHOWING UP AGAIN, lol. Exchanging the Pj's for real clothes and for now, I need a little elastic in the waistband. I may have enjoyed a few extra desserts these past couple of weeks.
Even though it is Friday...the day we like to think of as the beginning of the weekend, we still have to open those planners, make grocery list, and move forward. No perfect plan here....just a willing heart to follow the steps that the Lord has planned for me.
The celebrations may have quieted down and the calendar has turned, but I am walking into the days ahead with excitement. I know that God is not asking me to see the whole path of what 2026 holds, He's only asking me to Trust Him.
It's back to routines, back to responsibilities, BUT...never back to doing life alone. God's got this!!
Happy January 2nd
Shug..
Amen, dear Shug! God's got this! Sending you warm hugs and much love, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a blessed and prosperous New Year. God's got it!
ReplyDeleteNo help from me, have never printed my blog. there are several who do, and if I can remember which ones it is, I will email you.. Happy Re-entry Week.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the update about Sam -- I'm praying that the immunotherapy goes well. Love always. ❤️
ReplyDeleteSorry I don't know a book site. Sending you big hugs and kisses.
ReplyDeleteShug, these words of yours, "easing back into everyday life with intention, but mostly done in a slow way." is exactly how I would describe our day today. I'm ready for "normal" again, but I'm easing into it. xx
ReplyDeleteWrite to me at enquiries@holyvisions.co.uk about books.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I've stuck my toe into the water of real life, but won't jump in until after the weekend :-)
ReplyDeleteIs there even such a thing as a Perfect Plan? (Only in the movies, me thinks.) I believe God's got this, but allows us a sneak peek every now and then just to keep us on our toes. Easy does it!
ReplyDeleteYes, it does take some adjustment to get back to normal after all the holidays. I need a little extra room in the waist department after a little too much indulging too.
ReplyDeleteI used Pixxie last year too, one book had to be redone and one the pages are falling out. Let me know if you find something good.
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas when it comes - the decorations and the gifts - but I am ready for it to be over and get back to the routine of life too.
ReplyDeleteYes, He does! Praying for a wonderful year!

I've always wanted to get my blog printed but never did so I have no advice.
ReplyDeleteI can't get back into daily routine till I get the Christmas stuff packed away.
Yes, it is back to routine and daily chores, but I am looking into ways to keep myself more focused and on track.
